FERRERIUS, Vincentius (1355-1419). Sermones de tempore et de sanctis. Strassburg: [printer of the 1483 Jordanus de Quedlinburg (Georg Husner)], 1488-89.
Parts I and III only (of 3), in one volume. Chancery 2o (291 x 206 mm). Collation: I: a8 b-r8.6 s-z6 A-F6 G8 H10 (a1r title, a1v blank, a2r Sermones de tempore, pars hiemalis, G7v colophon dated 1488, G8-H1 blank, H2r tabula, H10v blank); III: ??6 a-h8.6 i-t6 v8 (??1r title, ??1v blank, a1r Sermones de sanctis, v7v colophon dated 27 March 1489, v8 blank). 210; 134 (of 136, lacking v7-v8) leaves. 53 lines and headline, double column. Type: 1:160G (headings), 5:80G (text), some printed guide letters. Large opening Maiblumen initial in red with brown penwork infill, smaller Lombard initials in red, a few flourished, paragraph marks, capital strokes, underlining, and title flourishes. (Fraying to edges of part I title, dampstaining to first few leaves, occasional browning, a few small wormholes at front and back.) Contemporary Augsburg binding of blind-stamped calf over unbevelled wooden boards, sides panelled with blind fillets, two floral rolls, a geometrical interlace roll and a hunting roll, spine with three double raised bands, the compartments stamped with rosettes and Kopfstempel tools (upper and lower compartments renewed and blind-tooled approximately to match, probably in the 18th-century), contemporary paper title label on upper cover engrossed in brown ink in a gothic hand, the larger letters "T "?z" (for Tiernstain?) in red, lacking two pairs of clasps and catches (sides and board edges rubbed with several abraded areas, some worming, joints cracked, spine restored as described above, old restoration to a corner). Provenance: Drnstein, Lower Austria, Austin Canons Regular (several contemporary inscriptions, "Iste liber est canonorum regularum Beatae Mariae virginis in Tiernnstain"), the inscription on a4r [signed a3] possibly written by the rubricator?; a few later notes in part III.
The first and third parts, containing the Sermones hiemalis and the Sermones de sanctis, are often found bound together without the second part. This copy was acquired in the sixteenth century by the Canons Regular at Drnstein already bound, as the tools are not among those used by the monastic bindery. The interlace or "Winkelhaften" roll and the hunting roll are reproduced in Peter Wind, Die verzierten Einbnde der Handschriften der Erzabtei St. Peter zu Salzburg, as rolls 3 and 29 (on a 1534 Augsburg manuscript in the Abbey library) = Kyriss shop 79, Augsburg, active 1482-1534.
HC *7005; BSB F-88; GW 9837; Polain (B) 3954 (I-II); Goff F-132.
